Seed 008: Awareness

I have no idea what awareness is: a propos of nothing. A question was posed in a recent guided meditation session: does awareness change? Can it change? Does it even have qualities that are capable of change, or is it transparent, featureless and generic, coloured only by what is viewed through it like a sheet of glass?

I have no idea.

I attempt awareness: it is an activity, a target, an intention. Am I aware? Sometimes. With effort, which is best experienced or enacted as no effort at all. It should be based on just being. Easy to say: hard to do.

I wrote the above in my happy place, at a cafe, with my dog, writing happily away. I was supplied with regular shots of coffee, good food and many new people to talk to who wanted to meet and admire my attractive puppy.

Puppies are an excellent way to meet new people. The mature dogs they grow into are a good way to meet new people.
